The appearance of mimic wrinkles is always an unpleasant surprise for a woman. The situation is aggravated when, due to the loss of elasticity, the facial skin becomes limp and loses its healthy tone. In such cases, panicked women begin to look for ways to regain their former attractiveness.
But this phenomenon should not be a cause for panic, because cosmetology today offers many options for removing wrinkles. Facial rejuvenation with micro-currents (microlifting), especially low frequency ones, has become very popular around the world. Its popularity continues to grow due to its high efficiency, painlessness and safe handling.
Microcurrent facial therapy is a comfortable and delicate material technique for facial rejuvenation, which is very popular among women and men.
The body is designed in such a way that its vital activity is supported by constantly occurring electrochemical reactions. The human body, made up of cells, is covered with a polarized cell membrane (cytoplasm). In a healthy state, its outer face carries a negative charge and the inner face is positive. Thus, living cells come into contact with their environment through electrical signals.
Skin is damaged with age. Malfunctions in the body lead to slowing of metabolic processes and progressive cell death. Exposure to microcurrents restores skin polarization and initiates the following processes:
Important!Since the AC values are small, the procedure cannot be dependency. As a result, each repeated session is accepted by the human body as a beneficial effect in all respects. Sufficient effect is obtained through the course of theprocedures!
Cosmetic clinics and salons offer different types of procedures based on microcurrent therapy. All options are available to patients. Consider the most popular:
Face and neck lift. This procedure gives tone to the tissues of the face, reduces laxity, smoothes fine wrinkles. It should be emphasized that a facelift can only be performed with special equipment designed for this purpose. Ordinary equipment, due to its high activity, on the contrary, can aggravate the problem of facial wrinkles and even lead to the development of neuritis.
Warning! When using microcurrent therapy, the electrodes should not be placed in the area of the heart, eyeballs and vessels of the neck.
The combination of microcurrents and mesotherapy gives the best results. In this case, there is no damage to the epidermis.
The experience of cosmetologists performing facial rejuvenation with microcurrents confirms that good results are obtained thanks to:
Microcurrent therapy is more and more in demand today due to its indolence, safety and the lack of a period of rehabilitation. After the session, the patient can immediately go home and go about their business.
The described technique allows you to eliminate puffiness, increase the elasticity of facial muscles and give your face a pleasant and healthy tone.
Important!Microcurrents - course procedure. The preservation of the effect of this rejuvenation method can be observed for 3 months or more.
Considering this concept, it should be noted that it covers many diverse procedures using low frequency electrical pulses with a current of a certain strength (between 600 and 1000 μA).
Today, the cosmetology market offers various models of devices to rejuvenate microcurrent therapy. They differ from each other in the device of the electrodes and characteristics.
Devices are sorted by:
In cases where the skin is treated with monopolar current, drugs are used in small doses.
When choosing a technique for facial rejuvenation, it is necessary to know in which cases it is prescribed. Microcurrent therapy has its own specific indications. It is prescribed in cases where:
It should also be noted that among the material techniques, it is microcurrent therapy that doctors use before plastic correction and after its implementation during the rehabilitation period.
Cosmetologists often resort to exposure to microcurrent when it is necessary to restore the skin after laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion and various peels.
A procedure involving exposure of the skin of the face to microcurrents is carried out in seven steps:
Application of a special contact gel all over the face. This agent has a special conductive composition. It contains many useful active ingredients (if the patient has acne, a special conductive anti-acne gel will be used, if there are wrinkles, the specialist will use a special anti-wrinkle gel).
Oily compositions in this case are not taken by a specialist, since they weakly conduct electric current. As the gel dries during the session, unpleasant sensations are possible. To avoid them, the specialist will periodically moisten the electrodes during the procedure.
Exposure to the skin with electrodes. Metal electrodes, cotton swabs soaked in a liquid composition, or conductive gloves
can be used as electrodes.The"labile" techniqueis often used, which involves moving the electrodes over the skin during the procedure.
Sometimes a"stable"technique can be used when the electrodes are attached to the epidermis.
In the case of microcurrent therapy using the "labile" technique, the electrodes are passed along the lymphatic flow lines. Always start moving the electrodes around the neck to facilitate the free flow of facial lymph.
How many treatments might you need?
The question of how many procedures are needed to achieve the desired effect is difficult to answer precisely. Why? Since everything depends on the age of the fair sex:
The procedure of microcurrent therapy is very popular among men, because during the action it gives an excellent result, while it is painless and does not require a period ofrecovery!
The non-invasive procedure described above for exposure to the facial epidermis with microcurrents is usually easily tolerated, but side effects can also occur. Their list is small. This:
Microlifting, like many other salon rejuvenation methods, can involve a number of contraindications. Anyone who wants to undergo this anti-aging procedure should know about them.
The list of common contraindications looks like this:
Besides generalities, there are also local contraindications. This:
thrombophlebitisMicrolifting is usually only performed by a beautician. But relatively recently, women have the opportunity to perform micro-facelifts at home. It should be said in advance that the effect of such manipulation at home will be much weaker. But as women, given the democratic price, increasingly choose this procedure, it makes sense to discuss it.
If you have a special device at hand, the steps for performing microlifting at home will be similar to the steps for handling in the salon (first, complete makeup removal is performed, then contact gel is appliedon the zone and the procedure begins).
Important!In order for the effect of such an effect to be observed even a little, the procedures should be carried out twice as often as they would be in a clinic or salon.
Due to the fact that the effect of microcurrents in the house is very small, in this case adverse reactions occur very rarely.
The current strength during salon microlifting is always monitored by the physician. First, the specialist sets the minimum level, then the strength of the current increases.
Sometimes any muscle (most often an arm or leg muscle) can contract voluntarily upon exposure to a current. You should not be afraid of such a reaction, because it is the body's response to the effect of the current force.
Microlifting can be combined and allowed after a number of other cosmetic procedures. But in this case, the important point will be the interval between the manipulations:
Before any exposure to micro-currents on the skin, it is recommended to perform a light chemical peel. This will allow you to achieve a more pronounced effect.
RF-lifting is understood to be a radio wave method that allows you to form a facial skeleton from collagen and elastin. Microcurrents work differently. They stimulate the production of collagen, as well as elastin, by injecting special substances into the subcutaneous layer without injection.
RF-lifting allows you to achieve a quick effect, because after the procedure, the old collagen fibers are strengthened. The lifting effect of RF lifting increases with each procedure. A total of 10 procedures may be required per course. But the peculiarity of RF-lifting is that such manipulations can be recommended for women after 35-40 years, while microcurrent can be recommended even for very young girls (if indicated).
